The tweet by Kanye West about enslaving Jews is nothing different from a grifter whom admitted that he “doubly hated God” after actually reading the Scriptures and would go on to blaspheme the Salvation of the Jews. For example, Martin Luther would begin by inciting gentiles to leave Jews (along with gentiles such as the Roma) without shelter:
“I advise that their houses also be razed and destroyed. For they pursue in them the same aims as in their synagogues. Instead they might be lodged under a roof or in a barn, like the gypsies.”
The Scriptures of looking out for the poor, the stranger, etc. were obviously of no real concern to Luther. He did not even conceal that he wished Jews (and, among other people, Roma) to be treated as animals and die of exposure to the elements. Not long after he wrote that he did not even wish Jews warm and well fed, he wrote what Kanye West could have simply edited to make a tweet of his own:
“Seventh, I commend putting a flail, an ax, a hoe, a spade, a distaff, or a spindle into the hands of young, strong Jews and Jewesses and letting them earn their bread in the sweat of their brow, as was imposed on the children of Adam (Gen 3[:19]}. For it is not fitting that they should let us accursed Goyim toil in the sweat of our faces while they, the holy people, idle away their time behind the stove, feasting and farting, and on top of all, boasting blasphemously of their lordship over the Christians by means of our sweat. No, one should toss out these lazy rogues by the seat of their pants.”
(Other parts of what Martin Luther wrote were vile enough for Jewish Virtual Library to make the call of not quote them, noting each of those parts as “remainder omitted”.)
If and when you criticize Kanye West, also make sure that you are not lauding the grifter Martin Luther. Much of the aiding and abetting of Kanye West can easily be found in many supposedly-Christian churches, and the Church (both Jewish and gentile) overall needs to examine itself thoroughly and make sure that it is not leading people to Hell along with Kanye West and Martin Luther. Besides, Jesus warned about people whom make other people twice as fit for Hell as they are—and if two people are or will be burning in Hell, Martin Luther and Kanye West are those people.
